De Dana Dan

Synopsis: Singapore-based Nitin Bankar's education was paid for by his employer, Kuljeet Kaur, and he, after the passing of his father, works as an unpaid maid-chauffeur for her until such time he pays off whatever she had spent. He is in love with gorgeous Anjali Kakkad but her father refuses to give his consent for this alliance. Desperate to get out of this situation, Nitin attempts suicide, albeit in vain, and then cooks up a scheme to abduct Kuljeet's pet, Mulchand, demand a hefty ransom, and then marry Anjali. He seeks assistance from his equally deadbeat-courier deliveryman, Ram Mishra, who wants to wed tall and pretty Manpreet Oberoi, and both book a room in Pan Pacific Hotel. However, Murphy's Law and a host of assorted characters get involved - resulting in hilarious and uncontrollable chaos.

The innocent face you see is mine.'

Nitin Bankar. That's my name.'

This photograph

dates back 26 years.'

It was taken during my childhood.'

I don't remember anybody

taking my photograph after that.'

I live in a tiny palace

provided with all the luxuries.'

That's my father.

Mr. Bankar.'

He looks like a pilot,

but is a servant cum driver in reality.'

He would work with Kuljeet Kaur... '

She is a billionaire.'

My father passed away

two years ago.'

But I was fortunate to

inherit my father's job.

A ready made job.'

Not because of madam's favour... '

...but because my father had taken a hefty

loan towards my education from her.'

Ever since then I've been

slogging for her.

To repay the loan.'

I begin my day by making tea.

Not for myself, but for madam.'

Good morning, madam.

Good morning.

Have a good day.

Madam owns plenty of shops... '

...malls and houses in Singapore

which she rents out.'

She trusts only me, so,

I do all the household chores.'

- Yes, madam.

Did Mr. Mulchand had breakfast?

- Yes, madam.

Mulu baby.

Mulchand bit my nose.

Mr. Mulchand scratched me.

Mr. Mulchand pissed on me.

That's Mulchand.

Madam's favourite and beloved.'

I share a special relationship

with Mulchand.'

We love each other a lot.

Just like Tom and Jerry.'

Nitin.

I want to hit... 'You dog! Where did it go?

Stop there, you idiot.

Idiot.

Now, I'll introduce you to

my best friend Ram Mishra.'

Ten years ago, he had

come to Singapore from India...

selling off his mother and sister's

jewellery to work in Chinese films.'

He wasn't offered any work

due to his complexion.'

Now, he works with

a courier service.'

Mishra's condition is as good as mine.'

Yet we are always happy.'

Because our girlfriends

spend a lot on us.'
